King Air C-90 lighting system upgrade approved

By General Aviation News Staff · October 28, 2022 ·

BLR Aerospace has received FAA certification for its King Air C-90 Winglet Series LED lighting system upgrade for winglets and tails.

The package upgrades the forward position, forward anti-collision, forward recognition, rear position, and rear anti-collision lights from incandescent to LED, company officials said.

According to company officials, the LED lighting system improves performance by:

  • Directly converting power into light
  • Operating 10 times more efficiently than incandescent lights
  • Drawing far less current than conventional lighting
  • Allowing for lower-voltage power supply

“The safety benefits of having bright, reliable lighting on your aircraft cannot be understated,” says BLR Aerospace President Mike Carpenter.
